Dailies Contact Lenses

How do you take off focus dailies contact lenses?

I used to wear a pair of 'monthly' Bausche and Laumbe contacts. To take them off, I would look up, slide the contact 'down'. It would get big air bubbles underneath it, and I could 'pinch' it to remove it. I tried the same process with my new contacts, a pair of focus dailies. But man these things stick like crazy... when pulling them down they were being filled with 'air bubbles', and I was afraid I'd push them under my eye. Is there a trick to this I don't know? I wonder if my eyes were too dry, and that was what caused this?

1. Nope, there is no other trick to it. They should come off the same way as any other contacts. But being as they are sticking that bad means they don't fit you right. They are much too tight and drying out because your tear film can't get under them. You should head back to the Doc with them so they can see how badly they fit on you.
2. Focus dailies are a very dry lens, so many people complain that they tend to stick to the eye as you try to remove them, and so make it very tricky to pinch them out. generally the method of removal is identical to that used for your monthly lenses. but given the problems you are experiencing, I would advise that you put some eye drops in your eyes to lubricate the lens before you try to remove it. this means it will be much easier to pinch out
